Chevelle (1970-1972) - Restoration and Authenticity Guide

The high-water mark of the muscle car era is usually credited as 1970, and for good reason; Chevrolet was now stuffing high-powered 454 engines into Chevelles. Adding a larger displacement above the still-available 396 (402) offered buyers the option to order the most powerful production car of that era. The 1970-1972 Chevelles remain the most collectible of the model to this day.

Author and historian Dale McIntosh pairs with restoration expert Rick Nelson to provide this bible of authenticity on the legendary 1970, 1971, and 1972 Chevelle models. Everything about restoring your Chevelle back to bone-stock is covered meticulously, including step-by-step instructions for chassis and interior restoration.
Understanding date variances on parts applicable to the build date of your Chevelle is vital to a factory-correct restoration, and including them in this book provides a depth of coverage on these cars that is unequaled.

Restoring a 1970-1972 Chevelle back to concours correct takes a certain amount of expertise. Thankfully, Rick and Dale have done a lot of the heavy lifting on the research side. With this authenticity guide, you can be confident that you have all the correct components and options accurately and expertly represented for your stock restoration.

Swap LS Engines into Chevelles and GM A-Bodies : 1964-1972

The GM LS engine is a popular choice for swapping into classic cars due to its combination of horsepower, torque, and compact design. These modern pushrod V-8s can be installed in vintage GM muscle cars, including Chevelles and other A-Body models, with relative ease. General Motors produced around 500.000 Chevelles and A-Body cars between 1968 and 1970.

Jefferson Bryant, experienced in LS swaps, provides a detailed guide for installing an LS engine into a Chevelle, Buick GS, Oldsmobile Cutlass, or Pontiac GTO.

The process requires selecting or fabricating motor mounts and adapter plates, integrating electronic engine controls and wiring, and, for fuel-injected systems, installing a compatible fuel tank, high-pressure pump, fuel lines, and related components.

Bryant covers all critical steps, offering time-saving techniques and solutions to common problems. The guide also includes instructions for performing an LT engine swap into an A-Body car.
